Yes indeed, it was a waste of time, given that the new KPW actually has even LESS improvement than I thought it would have. All improvements that matter are with regard to software. All the hardware improvements are a bit so-so, something most people wouldn't even notice, even with the two KPW's side-by-side.

Hopefully the screen lighting has been improved, but I'm skeptical. Too bad these polls are not designed to allow voters to change their votes as that would make it more valid.
